We share a practical look at how to use the 7Rs framework to streamline your portfolio and build a modernization roadmap that combines speed with control.
In this article we organize the discussion around three key axes: the different possible modernization routes, the main trade-offs that condition decision-making, and the specific criteria to evaluate each scenario, with metrics and a roadmap adjusted to the maturity level of each organization.
We analyze how a robust incident response plan enables organizations to react to cyberattacks quickly and effectively, reduce costs, protect sensitive data, and preserve the trust of customers and partners.
We analyze the keys to core modernization, from code optimization and MIPS reduction to offloading, automated tuning, and power governance. A technical and strategic approach for a more agile and efficient infrastructure.
We analyze this key and increasingly difficult-to-find technical role: its functions, challenges, and what organizations are doing to train the next generation and avoid operational collapse.
We analyze how to optimize costs and performance in mainframe environments to reduce MIPS consumption and improve critical processes in highly transactional contexts.
We analyze how security by design allows cybersecurity to be integrated from the beginning of a product's digital development, without sacrificing the user experience.
In this article, we analyze with Mafer Martínez, IBM's Latin American zSkills Influencer, why mainframes remain crucial in today's businesses and how they will continue to be so in the future. We also discuss the most in-demand skills for organizations and ways to acquire them.
Together with Leo Zrycki, director of the Mainframe Center of Excellence at IT Patagonia, we explore the keys to replatforming as an IT modernization strategy and analyze when to implement this type of project and its differences with refactoring.
In addition, we identified some common errors in these processes and key insights for anticipating trends related to infrastructure migration.
We offer a practical guide to what to require, and how to audit and respond to incidents, including legal obligations, consent management, and a checklist to reduce risks.
